Exam revision: AS Media March PPE

Your AS Media mock exam is on Wednesday 9 March at 8.30am.

This will be a MEST1 Section A exam paper similar to your January assessment. You will NOT be tested on Section B (British film industry and Ill Manors) as we have not completed teaching this topic. A reminder of what Section A involves:

Section A: 15 minutes to study the material/watch clip/make notes and then 60 minutes to answer FOUR compulsory questions.

You need to revise the following for this exam:
  • ALL media theories and concepts we have studied since the start of Year 12.
  • Your Film Language unit, paying particular attention to media terminology and detailed textual analysis.
  • Finally, look closely at your MEST1 Section A January assessment - what were the specific aspects you needed to improve? You are looking for significant progress in the upcoming exam - an absolute minimum of 5 marks higher in Section A overall.
Do the work and make sure you are confident going into this exam - you have learned a HUGE amount about the media already this year and now have the opportunity to demonstrate that progress.

Good luck!
